Featured Article: Synoptic Gospels The gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke are referred to as the synoptic Gospels because they include many of the same stories, often in a similar sequence and in similar or sometimes identical wording. They stand in contrast to John, whose content is largely distinct. This strong parallelism among the three gospels in content, arrangement, and specific language is widely attributed by Biblical scholars to literary interdependence. Popular Article: Beltane Beltane Fire Festival, Calton Hill, Edinburgh Beltane is an ancient Gaelic festival, historically celebrated in Ireland, Scotland, and the Isle of Man, with similar festivals held in the other Celtic countries of Wales, Brittany, and Cornwall. It is one of four Gaelic seasonal festivals: Samhain, Imbolc, Beltane, and Lughnasadh, of which Beltane (the beginning of summer) and Samhain (the beginning of winter) are thought to have been the most important. The festival has experienced a degree of revival since the late twentieth century. New World Encyclopedia integrates facts with values. Written by online collaboration with certified experts.
